P5H Brazilian Home Team Challenge

Leave a comment

Image result for brazil

On Monday we started our new topic on Brazil with a research task in the IT Suite. Each new group had to research a number of aspects that related to Brazil. You all had to take suitable notes, using headings and bullet points and you then were to use these to decide on a group name. Please share some interesting facts with someone at home.

Learning Outcome: I can create an interesting group name which is linked to Brazil.

The skills you used were:

Skill for Learning – Synthesis: I can list my research under suitable headings. I can use this information to help my group choose a suitable group name

Social Skill: As a group we can reach an agreement in the correct manner.

I was impressed at how well some of our new groups worked on their first task together. I heard some fantastic ideas being shared, and the task was divided up well with nearly everyone doing their part to make the task a success.

Well done!

Here are some photographs of our new Brazilian groups working on their Home Team Challenge.

Good afternoon everyone! I hope you have all had a superb October break. We have had quite a bit of sunshine this holiday, hopefully it will continue when we get back to school. Please read on to see you homework and reminders.

Spelling: Please complete list s for z or aw in your spelling homework jotter.  Each word should be written out three times.  A creative spelling activity, using ALL of your words, should also be completed. This task should be returned to school by Thursday. Please remember to practice your words throughout the week, NOT just when you are completing the task.

Personal Reading Challenge: This term we will be completing a challenge to help increase the amount of reading you do each week. The challenge will be ongoing for the whole term. I will go over the finer details of the challenge with you in class on Monday.

 Maths: Our maths homework will take a different format this term.  Most weeks you will have worded problems to complete. These problems will be posted on our class blog (this week they have been posted by Mrs O’Neill). If you are unable to access the blog, please ask for a paper copy of the questions.

Your answers should be completed, neatly, in your maths homework jotter. I will let you know on Monday (24th) which group you are in so that you know which questions to answer. Please cover your jotter before handing in your homework on Thursday.

I know many of you are enjoying  accessing the games on Mangahigh. If you wish to, please continue to do so, as practice makes perfect.

Art: As part of our Brazil topic we will be looking at a Brazilian artist: Beatriz Milhazes. Next week in class we will be recreating some of her paintings. For homework this week I would like you to access the link below and familiarise yourself with her work. Some of the vocabulary used is a little tricky but please remember if you are unsure of what a word means, please use a dictionary (or ask) to check the definition.

You should then write a short paragraph (no more than 50 words) about Beatriz and her work. This should be in your own words as much as possible – DO NOT just copy directly from the text. Let me know your personal thoughts on her paintings. Think about the following questions when writing your paragraph.

  • When and where was she born?
  • What style of art does she create?
  • What do you think of it?
  • Why do you think that?
  • Is there a particular painting you like?
  • Why do you like it?

Beatriz Milhazes

You should leave your paragraph as a post on our blog and I will publish them all at the end of the week. If you are unable to post on the blog, please complete your paragraph on paper. This task should be completed for Thursday.

 

Here are your reminders for this week.

  1. Please remember that our lunch menu has changed for this week only. The menu scheduled for Monday will now be served on Thursday which means Thursday’s menu will be served on Monday.
  2. You should all have taken your P.E. kit home at the end of last term to be washed. Please remember to bring it to school for our P.E. sessions on Tuesday and Thursday.
  3. Some of you have still to return your “walking” consent forms. Please ensure it is returned to school as soon as we return from our October break.
  4. If you have not already done so please remember to cover your Literacy and Book Detective homework jotters.

P5’s Green Fingers

Leave a comment

On Thursday morning P5 had a lovely time planting daffodils.  Every child was able to plant their own bulb and they will be able to watch them grow as Spring gets nearer.  We planted them in pots, which will be moved to the front entrance when they start to sprout, and also in tyres that are in the playground. Fingers crossed the children’s green fingers have worked their magic.

Have a lovely holiday week.

Read chapter 27 then complete your summariser by  including the main points from this chapter.  A detailed, coloured illustration, with a short written explanation, should also be completed. Please choose your favourite part to read aloud to your group members in class and record the chapter, page number and number of the paragraph you have chosen in your Book Detective jotter.

Maths: I have set up 3 challenges on Mangahigh for you to complete. Please ensure you access each game and play to achieve the highest medal you can. I will be looking closely to the results at the end of the week as there are still a number of you who are not completing this task.  Please remember to let me know if you have been unable to access Mangahigh and I will arrange for you to use the IT suite at lunch.

Please complete your  Manga High challenges by Friday.

Topic: You should now be almost finished your personal project.  Please remember to use time to practice presenting your project and ask someone at home to be your audience. Please keep referring to the task sheet to check your success criteria.

Your topic should be brought to school on Thursday 6th October so you can present it to your classmates and myself.  I am looking forward to hearing them all.

Here are your reminders for this week.

  1. P.E. will be on Tuesday and Thursday this week. Tuesday’s P.E. session will again be with Primary 5H, therefore you do not need shorts or a t-shirt, however you will need trainers/gym shoes. P.E. on Thursday will be our normal session so please remember full kit.
  2. The appointment times for our upcoming Parents’ Evenings will be issued tomorrow (Monday). Please return the tear off slip as soon as possible to confirm your appointment.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. I am not in school on Monday or Tuesday. Your teacher will be Mrs Davidson on Monday and Mrs McIntyre or Tuesday.  I am sure I will receive a great report from both of them.

See you in class on Wednesday.

Good evening everyone.

Please read on to find your Book Detective homework due on Wednesday 5th October.

Please read chapter 27. Your summariser for these chapters should include information from ALL of the chapters as this will show your understanding of what you have read.  An illustration, with a written explanation, should also be completed. Please choose your favourite part to read aloud to your group members in class and record the chapter, page number and number of the paragraph you have chosen in your Book Detective jotter along with a short explanation why you picked your chosen paragraph. There is no need for you to write out the paragraph you have chosen.

Please ensure you complete this task otherwise you will have no information to share with your group and will be unable to participate in our class lesson.

Due to our class trip tomorrow (Thursday) I will return your Book Detective jotters on Friday.

I hope you are looking forward to our trip as much as I am.
